[02:05] <sambagirl> why is xfce used?
[02:05] <sambagirl> by default?
[04:53] <OvenWerks> sambagirl-away: XFCE is used because it seems to be the best balance between a modern desktop and a CPU consious work area. It is stable and runs on systems than Gnome (which we had before). At the time Unity was not usable for audio, it is still limiting for many things but some people like it.
[04:56] <OvenWerks> sambagirl-away: Everyone has their favorite DE. In general XFCE has met with more aproval than most. There are a number of people who feel it is too heavy and use openbox based DEs.
